User gestures performed on wizard's associated menu item or icon to display non-executable replica in variant visual style. The is displayed style signify that preview mode it cannot be executed as an active wizard. Predetermined GUI widgets (e.g., buttons, text boxes, checkmarks, etc.) disabled do not respond gestures.
